EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical significance of "BLAEUs PASKAERT, 1617". Created by Willem Janszoon Blaeu, this map holds the distinction of being the first printed map to depict Manhattan as an island. Dating back to 1617, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of exploration and colonization in America. The image transports us to a time when New Amsterdam was yet to be known as New York City. The Dutch influence is evident in this meticulously detailed portolan chart, which highlights not only Manhattan but also other parts of North America. It serves as a testament to the pioneering spirit that shaped our understanding of the new world. As we delve into this remarkable piece of cartographic history, we are reminded of how far we have come since those early colonial times. This print invites us to reflect on the rich tapestry that makes up American history and appreciate the efforts made by explorers like Willem Janszoon Blaeu. Whether you are an avid historian or simply intrigued by maps and their stories, this print provides a unique opportunity for contemplation. Its presence on your wall will undoubtedly spark conversations about discovery, settlement, and cultural heritage - all within the context of one beautifully preserved artifact from centuries ago.
